Chapter 1509 1509 The Beginning of the Journey

"Fuckin, you're a lunatic, we set off like this? We set off like this!" Pedro's voice was running on the road to the Grand Canyon (The. Grand. Canyon) in a dark red RV In the trailer at the back, there was no embarrassment and prudence at all, and the energetic shouting almost made people think he was high again.

But Pedro just quit. When I came out of the poison center, I just wore a sky blue T-shirt and sweatpants, and there was no place to hide things all over my body, not to mention poison. After tasting it, there is not even a cigarette or a coin. It is completely "purified." Therefore, he is not high at all, just excited, pure excitement.

Alfonso volunteered to drive while the other four members gathered in the trailer behind. Since the group of five of them set off without any plan, and they didn't even know how much money they had, they finally negotiated and decided to rent an RV. The relatively spacious bedroom can allow three people to rest at the same time, and the RV There are also bathrooms and kitchens to ensure they don't really sleep in the wilderness for lack of preparation.

Now all their belongings are Hugo's huge mountaineering bag, which is why all four of them are in the trailer. They need to determine what they have and what they lack before they can start preparing.

"Hugo, are we really going to the Grand Canyon?" Neil asked uncertainly.

Since they set off without any plans, left Malibu, and didn't even know which direction they were heading, Hugo finally gave his opinion, "Of course, during this trip, countless friends have told me that I must do it all my life. I went to the Grand Canyon once and missed it many times. It is a great regret in my life. I originally planned to find time to go there after I came back. Believe me, you will never regret it.” Hugo’s face There was a splendid light on it, and it could be seen that he was happy in his heart.

"But, we haven't prepared anything, is it okay?" Neil was still a little worried.

Glory to Death has taken many road trips before, but it was all prepared in advance. This time was different, the five of them were not prepared at all, Alfonso was even wearing an inconvenient shirt, and Pedro cleaned up and left the ring. The state of the poison station is more like picking it up from a garbage heap.

Hugo waved his hand directly, "It's okay, when I separated from Joe and Samora in Mexico City, I didn't have any preparations. The things in this backpack were almost all I accumulated later. Travel is the most important thing. The important meaning is actually in the accident, if everything is ready, it is better to follow the tour group."

After a month of hard work, Hugo seems to be a veteran now, and he can't get used to it. He skillfully opened his backpack and began to change the contents one by one like magic. When he saw the rain When Guo actually took out all the cooking utensils, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Who are you? Bring back the Hugo we know!" Pedro grabbed Hugo's shoulder in surprise, and said in surprise, which made Neil laugh non-stop, and even Fu Jin Du was impressed by Hugo.

In fact, Hugo is not very good at many trivial things in life. He can't cook, drive, recognize roads, read maps, and pack luggage... Even the hygiene at home is so-so, although he said Hugo is not a life idiot, but his independent hands-on ability is indeed unbearable.

But the Hugo in front of him has transformed into a completely different attitude. When Fujin saw Hugo take out a compass, he couldn't hold back after all, and rolled his eyes, "Do you understand?"

Hugo shyly took the compass back and put it in his palm obediently, "This is just a souvenir from a friend." Everyone burst into laughter, and it was the Hugo they were familiar with.

Hugo is still the same Hugo, but he has only begun to have the basic ability to survive in the wild, which is what Hugo feels the most novel about. He once thought that he had been on the road all his life, and he should be familiar with these things, but this hiking trip opened up a whole new world for Hugo, allowing him to truly feel the world with his feet, It turned out that the ordinary land was so diverse, so wonderful and so magical.

Hugo turned the compass over, "Look, there are words on it." The three of them stretched out their heads at the same time, but they bumped into each other, and then they screamed together, making Hugo so happy that he handed the compass to the person next to him. Fujin, motioning him to take a look. I saw the back of the compass read "To Beloved Jack", "This compass was exchanged by me and a homeless man I met in a town called Logon County in Kansas (Logon. County), In fact, he is also a hiker, except that he is carrying a military backpack with all kinds of gadgets hanging on it, wearing clothes made of colorful patches, wearing a magician's top hat, he calls himself shepherd."

Fujin turned over the compass repeatedly and weighed it gently in the palm of his hand. He could feel the weight of the compass. After smoothing it, it can be seen that the owner of the compass must always touch it in the palm of his hand, so he smoothed out the edges and corners around it.

This is a compass with a story. Fukukin handed it to Pedro next to him, and Hugo continued to say, "He hadn't eaten for two meals at that time, and I happened to have half a ham on me, so I gave him half in exchange for this compass. . He told me that he also got it from someone else. He heard that the original owner was a veteran who participated in the Vietnam War, but he was not able to return to this land. I guess that 'Jack' should be this veteran. , this should be given to him by his fiancee, or his mother, let him take it to the battlefield, and don't forget the way home."

Hugo's plain words silenced the trailer, except for the sound of tires rolling over the road. Hugo chuckled lightly and broke the silence, "Later I saw the shepherd from a distance in Arkansas, but I was in the car at the time and couldn't stop to say hello. By the way, the car I was in was also very Funny, it was a gypsy band's performance van."

"Gypsies?" Neil asked curiously.

"Yes, they are the real wandering people. Although they glared at me when they found out that I was Jewish, we became friends in the end." Hugo said with a smile, "I participated in the band with their band. A few shows later, I played at a farm fair, and I was the guitarist, and I was on stage wearing a brown blanket…”

Hugo stood up directly and described the performance of the day vividly and vividly. When Hugo said, "At that time someone shouted, Hugo!", Pedro even screamed in horror, I thought it was going to be chaos and screaming, but then it took a dramatic turn, "then they pulled me into the crowd and did a square dance with everyone. God testifies, that scene was horrible", recalls Hugo With that terrible dancing ability, even Fu Jin couldn't help laughing while patting his thigh.

The trivial matter left Los Angeles in the dark red RV and headed all the way to Arizona. In fact, the members of Glory to the Dead can be said to be people with rich road trip experience, but they still feel amazing when they listen to Hugo's experience.

Living on the road, walking on the road, seeing, hearing, and feeling the scenery is an irreplaceable wealth, an irreplaceable part of life, and imprinted in the blood forever. Looking at Hugo's ecstatic description, almost every small item in the huge mountaineering bag is a story, and even the mountaineering bag itself has an unusual origin - it was exchanged between Hugo and a competitive cowboy. , the original owner once carried this mountaineering bag across Asia and Europe.

Hearing Pedro's blood boil, he wanted to go straight to hiking.

"If you want to really take the first step, you can do it at any time, but you have to be alone, because you will meet countless people on the road. When you walk on the road, you will find that the world is really like that. Big, so magical. I have always believed that everyone will see the world from a different perspective, and the gorgeous colors are the most beautiful place in the world.”

Hugo's words reverberated slowly in the middle of the night, and the surroundings became quieter and quieter against the sound of the bonfire burning in front of him. At this time, glory to death parked the car near the junction of California and Arizona. In fact, this place is already within the scope of the Grand Canyon National Park, but they did not look for a town to rest as usual, but in Hugo's Under the guidance, he found a campsite and settled directly in the wild.

Hugo expertly arranged everything, lit a bonfire, and even settled their dinner by exchanging wild boar with another group of Indians at the campsite. This is undoubtedly a very positive impact on the members of the Glory to Death. In the past, Neil was the leader, or Alfonso or Fujin was the assistant. Hugo has always been the hand-in-hand manager, but today Hugo has taken over all the initiative!

The other members of the band watched the bonfire in front of them silently. The hot flames made the surrounding darkness look particularly cold. Neil suddenly said, "So, is this why you want to keep going?"

Hugo didn't answer immediately, but was silent for a while, and then said softly, "I won't say that, but it is undeniable that this trip gave me a different perspective and gave me the opportunity to Looking at my current living situation made me jump out of the Hollywood frame and re-acquainted myself with the world and myself. The world is so big, and the circle we live in is always so small. Every so often, we all need to Get out of the fixed circle of life and look at the outside world, otherwise all the passion and fighting spirit will slowly wear off.”

Such as glory to death.
